📜 U.S. Civil War: Surprising Soldiers - Historians have been learning that the US civil war armies were a lot more diverse than previously accounted for--partly because many soldiers who hailed from other countries and nations used adopted names. Chinese, Hawaiian, Hispanic, and Cherokee soldiers all participated on both sides of the US civil war--suffering even more conflict in some cases.

@@aaroncohen2700Knowing that why not go for the flag in the first opportunity as a means to break moral. Sure if it you go for the flag at the start of the battle it will have no effect. But if you do it when the enemy is close to breaking, the very act of capturing the flag will probably deal a devastating blow to the enemy's moral instead of giving them a chance to rally.

Between 1865 and 1885, almost 20.000 americans arrived in Brazil, bringing cotton culture, american cuisine and Baptiste faith. The two greater centers of american-brazilian culture were the cities of Americana and Santa Barbara D’Oeste, both in São Paulo state.

One of the fun stories is the Surrender of the CSS Shenedoah at the end of the war. It pulled into Liverpool (they were considered pirates by the U.S. Government) and the British Naval officers who come to accept the surrender will let the crew go, save for any British subjects who were illegally fighting for the South. When asked for where they were from, sailors with thick Irish, Cockney, Welsh or whatever accents declare they are from Georgia, South Carolina, Texas etc. The British Officers are "satisfied" there are no British subjects among the crew and let them go. Another on person who could bear special mention here is Major General Patrick Cleburne, CSA. He probably made the Atlanta Campaign possible by preventing Army of Tennesse's Artillery from being captured in the aftermath of Chatanooga. He uses (and looses) his hero status by proposing by suggesting that the South allow blacks to fight in exchange for freedom. Ironically, if he'd kept his mouth shut he probably been promoted to Corps Commander and been in a very good position to affect the outcome of the Atlanta Campaign, and arguably the last chance the South had to win the war.

Asian and Pacific soldiers in the Civil War? I wonder how they ended up there.... Huh.... WAAAAALPOOOOOLE!

John Ross decendant here! It's actually kind of awesome to hear his name in your videos, especially about the civil war. There is a specific subset of the Cherokee Nation(nit sure about the eastern band) for the slaves freed from the war, they're called Cherokee Freedmen. Also it's awesome to see so many stories in here.

Great episode! Lots of stuff I didn't know AND no awful attempts at forced humor! This is why I'm still subscribed.

I am glad they mentioned Joesph Pierce of the 14th CVI. I have a friend who researched and portrayed him as a reenactor. Great video!

According to chronicles, memoirs, and journals, most New Mexico Volunteers joined the fight not because of North vs South, because they thought they were fighting TEXAS.

I appreciate how this went into detail on both sides and showed the humanity for both the union and confederate soldiers. Even if the reasons war was started was dark, the reason for war was started by politicians who didnot go and fight, most of the privates and officers simply fighting for their home. Great work for not demonizing either side and showing us the countless different peoples who fought for the union and confederecy for varieties of reasons.

As a Confederate's descendent, I was very happy as well. Most of the time it's just people shitting on my ancestors.

@cjayx 5 лет назад

I love this!! I have done so much US Civil War research and this is such an interesting take that never gets talked about! You should do a full US Civil War series for those that aren't familiar.

@petlahk4119 5 лет назад

Yeah, but I think they ought to cover mostly the immigrants and forgotten stuff. 'Cus that's the stuff we've had the most difficulty remembering.

@cjayx 5 лет назад

@@petlahk4119 that's what they're doing now. I'm saying for the folks who don't take US history in school. Not everyone is from the US.

@petlahk4119 5 лет назад

@@cjayx - I think it's valuable because, let's be honest, whenever the civil war is covered it isn't covered well enough or properly enough in schools. IIRC the best coverage I had of the civil war was in my college-level general US history course, and that was still just mainly focused on the east coast. I think also we ran short on time in both of my classes so the Civil war got nipped short in the first semester, and the cold war nipped short in the second semester. But, that still doesn't change the fact that the civil war is not taught very well. The focus tends to be either a historical-revisionist perspective, a perspective that is trying to cover as little of the American injustices as possible, or a perspective that's just trying to remind everyone that the South was pretty awful. And that last one is valid, but I think is probably missing a lot if it's not about what this episode covered - the stories of people. My professor was a god professor who taught from 1st-hand documents, but I still don't feel like it was enough. Especially when it comes to overturning decades of awful secondary-school education. :/
